What... Is a GATE ??

A/N Ahoy ! im back ! who could expect this OoooOOOo, anyway, i have had an eye infection for the past 2 weeks, as of late it had been improving so I'm now writing... Yay !  this chapter may be less quality compared to the others as i have not been writing or been on my phone or laptop so sorry in advance ! but without further adue ...

... The New Chapter (also i left out the part where she would be knighted as i have no idea as how to write it without it being a bit cringe worthy, please forgive me if you were looking forward to it.)

(MC Pov)

It has been around 1 week since i had been knighted and now im currently sitting around the "Round Table" surrounded by all the other knights of the round, they were discussing stuff i kinda understand.

Stuff like the updates on the relations especially with "The Empire", the EMPIRE have recently been ramping up its military along our borders which is making the kingdom really uneasy. Im only paying attention somewhat because they dont really need  my help with things "because im new and should watch how its done" . . . not that im complaining.

"- I dont understand why the Empire would wish to invade us anyway, its just . . . illogical, just because we're a smaller country they think they can take us down so easily. . . "(Bedivere)

'hm? so they really do think they can beat us, ha idiots, we may be smaller than them . . . considerably so but our army is strong , yea they have people who ride dragons and wyverns but we have us the R-O-U-N-D TABLE we're strong enough  and yes before you ask all the members of the round table are just as strong as their Fate Series counter parts, they even have their Noble Phantasms, maybe not as powerful but still strong enough to wipe out an ordinary army even if they have dragon riders, they are no match for Tristan and his bow.

"I say we go to them and give them a show of our strength" (Lancelot) 

(A/N just while i have this on my mind, i dont know the characters personalities much so please ignore it if they say something they would never say) 

"No, that would give them just cause to initiate an attack, they might be waiting for just that" (Bedivere)

"But if we just let them sit there and do nothing about it, we will come across as weak !" (Lancelot)

'he looks mad at this point. . . i wonder what the king has to say about this matter ?'

with that thought i turn my head to the direction where The once and future king, he ? she ? seems to notice my gaze and seems to take this as i have something to say.

"hm. . . it seems Mordred has an opinion on this matter." (King "Arthur")

all of the knights faces turn to me which slightly frightens me but i keep composure

'huh?! wait wait i have no idea what to saaaaaaaaay huuuh ??... AH ! i ll just agree with Lancelot because, why not ?'

"eh ? oh well i agree with Lancelot as if we let them sit at our border un-announced we will look as if we're a rug to be walked on"

this makes Lancelot smile slightly as i have agreed with him, it also shows them my "opinion" on the matter. . . even though i just copied Lancelot.

"Who agrees with Lancelot and Mordred here ? (King "Arthur")

some  of the other  knights  raise their hands showing that they agree with "mine" and Lancelot's opinion on The Empires troops on our border.

"Hm, well then i say we go to the border and meet with them, we shall just bring us as there is only around 13-15 thousand solders there, The Empire is most likely keeping most of their army back in case they cannot win over us." (King "Arthur")

"My king, may i speak?" (Tristan)

"Yes, Tristan you may speak." (King "Arthur") 

"I think they may be trying to stop us from getting near the GATE at Alnus hill." (Tristan)

the King nods to this as well as some of the other Knights of the Round, but this confuses me as i have no idea why this "Alnus Hill" would be so important 

"Then it is decided we shall meet at the North Gate and ride to the border 3 days from now. Dismissed." (King "Arthur")

as He / She ?? says this all of the other knights leave the room just leaving me and my King.

"? what is it Mordred ?" (King "Arthur")

my King turns to me as i stand up and walk torwards him / her ?? 

"My king, i have a question." i bow my head in respect 

"No need to bow Mordred. You are one of my Knights of the round." (King  "Arthur")

i raise my head and face my King

"Good. Now tell me Mordred, what is your question ?" (King "Arthur")

"Yes my king, My question is regarding the importance this "Alnus Hill" has to The Empire ?" 

"... oh yes, i forgot that many people in Camelot havent heard of Alnus Hill. Well Alnus Hill is the hill where the first GATE appeared, and is considered sacred land by the empire. You may ask what this "GATE" i speak of is a dimensional portal which opens periodically, it is believed other races such as Elves are from the other side of the GATE. This is why the GATE is so important to The Empire as it is expected to open soon." (King "Arthur")

All this information made my eyes widen abit, i stood there completely still for around 10 seconds 

'Dimensional ... portal, God who sent me here, he might be involved in this. . .'

i suddenly feel a little breeze over my skin which should of been impossible as i have my armour my Mother gave me on.

*shiver*

"huh? oh yes my King, Thank You for answering my question. i shall make my leave." 

"If you're going to the training yard i may join you later on, Mordred." (King "Arthur")

"huh ? oh yea my  King i would be very grateful if you do so." 

i turn then exit the meeting room and head the training ground so i dont let the King down.
